Chapter 476
by fanqienovelChapter 476: There Must Be a Hidden Truth
“Ah, I just remembered that I have something to take care of.”
Rui suddenly said, “You two chat; I’ll go handle my own matters.”
Zhan nodded slightly and said, “Indeed, it has been a long time since I came to the main realm, and there are some things I need to attend to.”
Beside them, the Mighty Man wielding dual blades asked in confusion, “After the rotation of Eight Ages, the main realm must have changed beyond recognition. What is there for us to be busy with?”
Zhan smacked the other’s forehead and replied, “When I say I’m busy, I’m busy. Why do you always have so many questions? You fool! Even after all these years, you’re still this clueless!”
With that, Zhan grabbed him and instantly vanished from the spot.
Soon, the resource storage was left with just Su Wen and the Star God.
Before leaving, Rui even yawned and released a wave of power that completely shielded the surrounding space.
The Star God of the Ninth Age had important matters to discuss with the current Great Gods of the Ninth Age. It wouldn’t be appropriate for others to eavesdrop.
People should know when to step back.
That way, they won’t be disliked.
“Earlier on the battlefield, I fought against Ye Guanzhi. He used the means of the Ancient Clans to break through beyond true god, reaching the God King Realm that you seniors mentioned.”
The Star God began to speak, “I also used some Ancient Techniques, borrowing power that doesn’t belong to me.”
“And that power came from the Star God of the Eighth Era.”
“This is something I learned as the legacy memories from the Star God of the Eighth Era were fully unsealed after I advanced to become a true god.”
“Some Ancient Techniques have traces of the past, present, and future across three different states of Time and Space.”
“With the manipulation of the power of stars, I can use my present form to borrow strength from my past self.”
“But if I can’t defeat Ye Guanzhi now, how could I have defeated him in the past?”
“And using my present form to borrow strength from my future self is highly unstable, which could even lead to unexpected consequences.”
“Kill Ye Guanzhi!”
“Kill the traitor!”
“This mission must not have any unexpected occurrences!”
Saying this, the Star God paused before continuing, “Fortunately, I have received the Memory Legacy from the Star God of the Eighth Era.”
“Moreover, it is a comprehensive Memory Legacy.”
“So the Ancient Techniques, under the coordination centered around the essence of the Star God, allow me to revisit the time-space corridor based on the unique traits of the Star God of the Eighth Era.”
“Then, with the essence of the Star God of this era, I can flow upstream and borrow the power of the Star God of the Eighth Era!”
“And using the power of the Star God of the Eighth Era to kill a traitor would be incredibly simple.”
“Even if the opponent has reached the God King Realm, they are not to be feared!”
Beside him, Su Wen frowned and asked, “But what is the price?”
Such a ridiculously powerful Ancient Technique surely cannot come without a cost!
Especially considering the words Gu mentioned before leaving, they were enough to prove that this matter had severe consequences!
“The price is that, the more I borrow, I might no longer be myself.”
The Star God looked up at the sky and said somberly, “But what does that matter?”
“Perhaps the Star God of the Eighth Era could do better than I can.”
“He might be able to explore a true path to survival for everyone!”
“I… ultimately have my limitations…”
Su Wen, hearing this, said in a deep voice, “You’re being foolish! How do you know that the Star God of the Eighth Era did better than you?”
“How can you be sure that the Star God of the Eighth Era can find a true path to survival for everyone and not a path to death?”
“The Eighth Era!”
“Has already failed!”
“Since it has failed, and even their divine essence has passed down to our era, it shows that their experience is not worth following!”
“Otherwise, why would the will of the cosmos act this way?”
“Besides, from the very beginning, you coordinated the various situations in Huaxia, and even managed state affairs while also taking on the role of the war president.”
“Where there’s danger, there you are.”
“Now, all the major affairs of the human alliance rest on your shoulders. If you leave, what will everyone do?”
“I haven’t given up!”
“Why are you thinking of giving up?”
“Wait!”
Suddenly, a thought flashed in Su Wen’s mind.
“Star God, did the Star God of the Eighth Era already foresee this situation when he gave you all of his memories?”
“Did he predict that you would draw on the power of the Eighth Era, and then… he would take over your body and Return?”
If it were the Fighting God of the Eighth Era giving his Memory Legacy to the Fighting God, Su Wen wouldn’t think twice.
After all, for some well-known reasons, he trusted the past Fighting Gods completely.
But when it came to the Star God, he couldn’t help but think of other possibilities.
The Star God of the Eighth Era must be trying to come back through this method.
“You can’t say that.”
The Star God shook his head and replied, “In truth, from the moment I advanced to true god and learned all those Ancient Techniques, I understood the intentions of that senior.”
“In the past, I had no choice.”
“But this senior has given me an option.”
“If the road ahead is completely dark and I can’t find a way forward…”
“Perhaps when being targeted and suppressed by Various Parties, schemed against and invaded by the ancient clans, defeated by the despair of reality, and facing death, I might use this method to fight for another future!”
“Let him come back!”
“With the ancient wisdom of the Star God of the Eighth Era, let’s strive for the Ninth Age once more!”
Su Wen’s eyes narrowed as he pressed, "If you’re so well-informed, why do you seem so defeated?"
"Are you keeping something else from me?"
"The issue with Ye Guanzhi is just the tip of the iceberg!"
"That’s the real big deal, isn’t it?"
Star Gods across various Time and Spaces have demonstrated their mental resilience through countless trials.
Even in the face of despair in previous Time and Spaces, the Star Gods managed to endure.
They even had the strength to console themselves and strategize for the main Time and Space!
So, how could the Star God of this Time and Space be under such immense mental pressure just because of Ye Guanzhi and the betrayal of the God of Theater Legion?
There must be more to it!
Something he’s not aware of.
"Is it because of the ancient clans?"
After a brief silence, Su Wen suddenly said, "Is the power of the ancient clans so overwhelming that it… drives you to despair?"
At that moment, he understood the fading pride and confidence of the Star God.
Absolute confidence stems from absolute ignorance!
When their enemy was the Arrow Realm, though formidable, they weren’t invincible.
But with the emergence of the ancient clans, the assaults from higher levels revealed the true nature of the situation to the Star God.
And the sheer terror of the enemy!
"Though the ancient clans are powerful, your existence has shown me a bright future."
The Star God spoke, "It’s really not that big of a deal; maybe I’ve just been too stressed with everything lately."
"And when the night falls and all is quiet, my thoughts run wild, and I feel a bit down!"
Su Wen: "…"
Is it really fitting to deceive me with such a flimsy excuse?
This is the mighty Star God!
If he really wanted to deceive me, couldn’t he come up with a more plausible reason?
